Default How to insert picture with relative path

Hi Sevilho,

I think you have relative and absolute paths confused. Using the {FILENAME \p} field gives you a path 'relative' to the current
file. You cannot insert a relative path directly into an INCLUDEPICTURE field. Even if you omit the path, Word stores the absolute
path internally.

Hi!
Thank you. I suggest next.

1. When you use {FILENAME \p}, you use absolute path! But you can easy
insert Field NCLUDEPICTURE and type there relative path. It works!

2. It's interesting, that a picture, included via field is not the same as
picture, included via standard Insert means. The last is more complex and
became as MS Chart (visible only in Page layout mode). More of it you can
rotate this object.

Where can I read what is the this object in truth ?

Word 2007. When you insert picture with link to graphic file path is absolute
by default. It is not convinient when you move doc and picture to other
computer.

How to edit path?

P.S. Word 2003 made relative path.
